bah. fuck social media, it's all garbage, all of it. bye.

no celebration, no taking a moment to acknowledge that tens of millions have been waiting for this moment for decades often since childhood or our entire lives, no hope for long-awaited liberation, no - just rules-lawyering about sovereignty and geopolitical implications

it's a fucking bad look tbh

imagine being persecuted by a dictator for decades and seeing that the world's first reaction to his toppling is "um ackshually that is illegal per international law, because sovereignty and congressional approval" precisely from those who profess to care about brown people's human rights.

I have lived most of my life under the ruling of one party in #Venezuela, which led to many of us fleeing. More Venezuelans have left their country than Syrians or Ukrainians. Please don’t make easy judgments based on your Global North view if you didn’t know much about us until recently.

remember when stalin took berlin and ended hitler's reign? yeah, that stalin, the one that also murdered millions? you knew this fact about history, yes? so why are you now surprised? it happens, sometimes murderous dictators fight and one of them removes the other one.

checking in, mi pana, any thoughts yet?

a murderous dictator was toppled and i don't hear yall "progressive" motherfuckers celebrating. WHY ARE YOU NOT CELEBRATING WITH US? aren't you supposed to care about human rights? do you care more about your little game of discourse Risk than about the political prisoners rotting in El Helicoide?

ok, dame tres hechos sobre venezuela pues, rápido

en fin, no sé ni para qué abro esta mierda si era obvio qué iba a encontrar.

tanto gringo hablando de crímenes de guerra y no reconocerían ni un solo nombre de nuestros miles de presos políticos, exiliados o asesinados. tanto hablan de imperialismo y les sabe a mierda que llevamos décadas con tres proyectos imperiales de los BRICS chupándonos la sangre. viva venezuela libre.

it is, in fact, extremely good. he's a butcher and he's not in power anymore. hopefully his entire regime crumbles now.

we run on kube, so in a way, you're also making it happen :)

npi :(

liver's just getting more fucked by the day, huh. i hope i don't end up needing a new one

Wear an N95 respirator mask in all situations of potential covid-19 contagion.

Any rational person should understand why it is necessary at this point. It has been nearly 6 years. It is not complicated.

there's a lot of talk about what's "dividing" people these days when the biggest thing doing any division is the average person being unable to accept reality as the rest of us suffer through it, ever convinced they're somehow "exempt" or "special" as they bite down into the eugenics cookie harder

the "covid is over" people continuing to assure it will never be over by not moving a millimeter in their behavior almost would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
maybe in 30 years we'll get a "sad sad movie" about their lil regrets and how they "didn't know" and "there was nothing we could do" 🙃

People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.

All I know is that Loomer is going to wind up like Beria in The Death of Stalin.

A fortuneteller says: “You will die on a national holiday.”
The tyrant asks: “How do you know?”

Old Soviet joke for today:

A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.

After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”

“I’m looking for the obituaries.”

“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”

“Not the one I’m looking for.”

there's an optimum possible world where he lasts just long enough to depose maduro, not so long to make any material difference in the collapse of US fascism, and then immediately croaks

yall in the US are SO lucky if he actually croaked lmao like happy for you but this is almost insultingly lucky for everyone else living in dictatorships

and i thought i had a problem

Yup
